Shoulder injury ends Stewart's season
By Len Pasquarelli
After re-evaluating
James Stewart
's shoulder injury, the Lions decided to put on him on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday.
After injuring the shoulder in Detroit's final preseason game against the Bills, it was originally thought that Stewart would only miss the first three or four weeks of the season.
While Stewart's injury obviously hurts, Detroit addressed its lack of depth at tailback over the weekend by acquiring
Olandis Gary
from the Bills.
"Given the health of our situation at tailback, a trade was a possibility, so we pursued it," Lions coach Steve Mariucci said. "He gives us another veteran back on board."
Gary, 28, is entering his fifth NFL season and joined the Bills last spring as a free agent after spending his first four years with Denver.
Playing behind
Clinton Portis
last year, Gary managed just 147 yards rushing in 13 games, including two starts. His best season came as a rookie, when he had 1,159 yards rushing and seven touchdowns in 12 starts with the Broncos.
Stewart was entering his fourth season with the Lions. During his three seasons in Detroit, the former University of Tennesse star has twice rushed for more than 1,000 yards. For his career, Stewart has registered 1,478 carries for 5,841 yards and 48 touchdowns. Stewart, who played the first five seasons of his career with the
Jacksonville Jaguars
, has started in 70 of 101 appearances.

WASHINGTON – Years ago, when an airline flight was very late taking off, passengers would hear the captain's voice over the intercom: "Free drinks!"
Well, that sort of thing has gone the way of cars with chrome bumpers.
But The Huffington Post has assembled a short list of things that are still free at 30,000 feet.
Airlines still offer those little plastic wing pins for kids. And, if you stick your finger putting it on your child, you most likely can get a Band-Aid from the flight attendant.
Most flights carry basic medications that are free to passengers including pain killers for your headache and antacids for heart burn.
When the drink cart comes by, you may ask for the whole can of soda or a refill — most airlines will comply. And for that matter, there are seconds on those little bags of pretzels or snacks.
Another freebie on many flights are sanitizing wipes, if you ask, and refills of your water bottle.

Excellent experience
Friendly staff , well behaved room service ,good atmosphere ,pretty decoration
Decent sized room, clean and convenient for Heathrow
For London, the rooms are a good size, simply decorated and clean - there was even a bath in the en-suite.
Its one stop on the underground and a short walk, or a bus ride from Heathrow, so it was really convenient and good value. I would stay there again quite happily.
Only downside is you can't open the windows.

Great quiet room
Although very near to Terminal 4, we never heard the planes arriving at all, it was so quiet.
The hotel was perfect for the stay - the customer service was very good with very helpful staff, the room was equipped with high quality fittings and accessories. The most outstanding was the comfortable mattress, I assume newly fitted, I even inquired when checking out where I could get one and was given the suppliers contact!. Will definitely use again for any stay near Heathrow.

Excellent overnight stay
Staff friendly and efficient.
A bit muddled about booking via late rooms. Unable to provide me with a receipt for the stay as they said it was late rooms responsibility which was odd. Room spotless and large. A bit too close to the lift. Food a bit pricey but overall excellent value for money.

Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Airport
Brilliant welcome and advice from Kusal the reception supervisor.
A stylish, calm hotel which reminded us of the Jurys Inn ethos of old. Very comfortable room and excellent breakfast. All in all excellent, value for money experience. Do however watch the cost of any taxi transfer as ours was unmetered.

Clean and quiet
Even though this hotel is on the Heathrow perimeter, it's very quiet.
It seems like a newly built hotel as all the fixtures and fittings feel new and the carpets look unworn. Room was very clean and had everything needed.

Perfect Aviation Experience
My husband and myself enjoy plane spotting and stay at various airport hotels.
We have stayed at a few but have to say that the Hilton Garden Inn Heathrow is undoubtedly the best we have stayed at. Firstly, our room, 749, was perfect for viewing planes landing and taking off. Secondly, it had every utility one could need, including a fridge to put ur own purchases in. We will definitely be staying again in the not too distant future. The staff were all very commendable too.

Excellent value for Money
We stayed for 1 night as we had an early flight next day.
We arrived at hotel and got checked in about 10.30am which was fantastic as we had 15 hour flight next day, and weren't expecting to get checked in til later and were just looking for somewhere to store our bags. Reception staff very polite and professional. We had lunch in the bar and dinner in the restaurant can't fault any of our meals both to a high standard as was the service. The hotel is spotless rooms extremely clean and excellent value as we paid double the amount for a hotel at Glasgow airport and it was shocking. Thank you to all the staff for their attentiveness who made the start of our journey a pleasant experience.

The Secret Lives of Buildings
From the Ruins of the Parthenon to the Vegas Strip in Thirteen Stories
A strikingly original, beautifully narrated history of Western architecture and the cultural transformations that it represents
Concrete, marble, steel, brick: little else made by human hands seems as stable, as immutable, as a building. Yet the life of any structure is neither fixed nor timeless. Outliving their original contexts and purposes, buildings are forced to adapt to each succeeding age. To survive, they must become shape-shifters.
In an inspired refashioning of architectural history, Edward Hollis recounts more than a dozen stories of such metamorphosis, highlighting the way in which even the most familiar structures all change over time into "something rich and strange." The Parthenon, that epitome of a ruined temple, was for centuries a working church and then a mosque; the cathedral of Notre Dame was "restored" to a design that none of its original makers would have recognized. Remains of the Berlin Wall, meanwhile, which was once gleefully smashed and bulldozed, are now treated as precious relics.
Altered layer by layer with each generation, buildings become eloquent chroniclers of the civilizations they've witnessed. Their stories, as beguiling and captivating as folktales, span the gulf of history.less

Deploying a MongoDB Node.js App on Azure
A few days ago I attended the second event of the newly born Belgian Node.js User Group. The event was about deploying and testing node.js applications and has been hosted in Microsoft Belgium offices near Brussels, thanks to Tom Crombez (aka @artymoony) and Windows Azure.
There were 3 presentations:
- Mine, about deploying a MongoDB powered Node.js app on Windows Azure: a walkthrough of the steps needed to deploy the app.
- Then another talk on how to build your own "cloud-like" environment on Linux, using systemd. Talk by Ruben Vermeersch.
- Finally Julien Biezemans, lead developer of cucumber.js, gave an introduction of BDD and cucumber.js
It was really a nice event, with good catering and good discussion (and for the first time almost 50/50 French speaking / Dutch speaking).
For those who are interested, you can see my presentation online: http://bitly.com/njug_be_azure.
The first step to test azure is of course to create an account. You can do it following that link: http://aka.ms/azurebenug

Chasing Ghosts: Music for the Infinite Horizon
Music is the pulse of the soul. Music is the beat of your actions.
Music is what drives the curves and straights of the track, the force that becomes the heart and identity of what makes a racer. Every driving game I�ve ever loved can be identified by their soundtracks. Ridge Racer�s deep danceable electronic beats slip into the drifts of each mastered curve. Outrun�s breezy open air melodies and vocal crescendos call me to freedoms of its endless roads. Wipeout�s electric trances keep me focused as I feel the tight turns of the tracks and deal with aggressive opponents.
Games are repetitive by nature, and racers exemplify this. A good racer has a strong identity, definable elements that separate it from the pack. That�s where games like Gran Turismo, Dirt, and Need For Speed have failed me. Their identities are either over-engineered or schizophrenic; the best racers assert their identities will ferociously impossible ease.
As I once again trace those curves in my mind I remember the places I�ve forgotten. The faceless vistas of racers void of the spark and personality of my standbys. Ghosts, on the horizon of memory.

Why We Kill
�- everyone is seeking for maximum feedback.�
During an interview with Eurogamer, Jenova Chen, the mind behind the fl0w, fl0wer and Journey had this to say about players. During an early prototype of his cooperative game Journey, players would constantly push each other into pits. When the team removed collision detection, players would look for other ways to get feedback from the game.
It�s a brilliant look into the way people operate, and knowing this provided me with insight on a few different issues in regard to other videogames. I wrote previously about the annoyances of Far Cry 2, and the possible reasons they were so bothersome. In short, Far Cry�s only way to interact with the world you are given is to kill. When the mechanics of the game seem to actively negate the effects of even this action, the interaction becomes meaningless.
Violence is easy. It�s simple, direct, and emotionally stimulating.
Violence is also full of feedback loops. Think about the typical kill in a FPS: your aim snaps down the sights, pull the trigger, a loud shot fires off. The bullets hit the target, blood is released, the reticule expands to show your hit, numbers fly up and the target goes down. More than that however, you�ve just removed another player from the playing space. An obstacle disappears.
Explosions, blood, death, the steel of a blade cutting flesh, an arrow penetrating an enemy: violence is immediate and big on feedback. It�s much more difficult to make talking to another character as satisfying. What were you talking about? Was it interesting? Was there some goal you need to achieve? Can you impose your will on the other character by talking to them? Is the dialogue believable? Did their reaction give you satisfaction? It�s a very subtle process, and oftentimes if it isn�t just right it will leave the player void of the kind of response they seek in a game.
It�s much simpler to have them run around New York city, bounding up buildings, jumping from the highest points and eviscerating other sacks of flesh on the way down.
Most of us can relate to the sensation of running, or punching someone in the face. It�s a kinetic experience, and the simple inertia of movement can recall the adrenaline of the moment. Not all of us can talk our way through a hostage situation however, or understand what it�s like to have a person�s life in our hands.
This is what makes those experiences so valuable, however. It�s a different kind of feedback. More complex and difficult to understand, but full of a greater catharsis.

The Red Ship.
Familiar to those who�ve played Galaga as the form a player ship takes when captured by an enemy. At one point I entertained the thought of getting this as a wrist tattoo. In some moments, I still do.
At the time, my girlfriend and I had a competition going on. Both of us were avid fans of Galaga, and early in our relationship our scoring competition induced chemistry between us and left a lasting impression. The two ships remain a symbol of the bond.
In Galaga, the red ship becomes not only an enemy, but a possibility. If you can fire upon the enemy holding the ship prisoner, you can recapture that ship, and have it fight for you, doubling your firepower. However, if that�s the case, then what does that mean for the personal meaning of the symbol?
Am I the red ship? What has now become the enemy? A once ally turned against them? Or is she the red ship? Captured by the enemy, potentially returning to fight by my side?
Either definition is seems misplaced for my state of being. What once started as a vague symbol for a bond has been warped by both my changed relationship, and by meaning the mechanics of the game have begun to apply to this symbol. In time, the memory of all of this will fade.
What will be left will be a red ship, caught in the enemy grip. A single stray shot will destroy it.

This Time It's Persona: In the Company of Myselves
I am lying to you.
At this very moment I am being untruthful. It�s a fundamental truth of our society that we only show certain sides of ourselves to each other. At times we engage in a complicit lie, pretending to care about one another in order to achieve some fundamental goal. At this very moment I am choosing only to show this side of myself to you, to engage you on a �meaningful� level .This concept of the faces we wear around each other, the idea that the relationships we create are based not only on what we choose to share with each other, but we choose not to share, is at the core of the great game that us members of society play with each other.
Arguably, the idea of our �other self� has been at the core of the Persona series for some time. However, it is not until the release of Persona 3 that it finally metastasized into the core of the games.
With the introduction of the Social Link system, suddenly the metaphor is complete. Not only do you take upon various mystic entities as Personas during the battle phase, but now you also become a similarly multi-faced within the context of social situations. Within my playthrough I became a genius level student, proficient in Kendo, irresistibly charming, insanely badass, and a wooer of multiple women. There was not a man nor a woman that could resist me.
Achieving this is simple: tell everyone what they want to hear. Like many RPGs, your character in Persona is a blank slate. This slate is not for you to impart yourself on. You are blank in the same way a mirror is before light strikes it. You are blank so you can become a reflection of everybody else. At one point a minor character points out that your character has an androgynous appearance. You as a character have an appearance that is both masculine and feminine, able to take on characteristics of either gender as necessary.
While others have Personas that remain constant throughout the game, at times evolving as they evolve as people, you are ever changing. Tellingly, the in battle icon for switching Personas is a mask. These spirits and demons are nothing but masks that change to suit the situation. You increase in strength by obtaining new ones, or combining the old Personas. You give the answers your friends want to hear for the same reason�because you know it will draw them closer to you�and that the bond between you two will likewise increase your strength.
You have not truly grown together, however. As a near mute, you only answer when talked to, and even when others find out about your history, it is never because you confided in them or shared some part of yourself. You simply take in what everyone else gives to you, and reflect it back at them in the way you need to to bring them closer. They have given you the deepest parts of themselves, and you have done little more than listen and consume.
Who hasn�t done the same in their real life, though? Have you never told someone only what they wanted to hear? Society is full of these half-truths. Oftentimes both parties are aware of the deception they are inflicting on each other, but it�s simply easier to pretend. We don�t live life as one person, but as multiple Personas. We change our faces, our expressions, our language, and at times our voices to whomever we are around. The relationships between people cause reflections of each other in the opposite person. We become aggressive, sweet, charming, loud, vulgar, or polite in a new context�or we simply hide aspects of ourselves. There are very few people, if any, in our lives that we show every face to.
We are liars. That we wear masks is our only truth.

This Time It's Persona: Towering Tedium
Persona 3 is about character. In my final days I lost the will to climb Tartarus. I knew I was strong enough to take on what was to come. Instead, I spent my days spending time with friends I hadn�t had the time to fully develop my relationships with.
I slurped ramen with Nozomi, helped work things out with Mamoru, and grew close to Yukari. At night I spend time drinking with Mutatsu and watching a bummed out Vincent mope around.
Some nights I would work at the Chagall Cafe, hoping to work up the courage to stomach Fuuka�s cooking.
As I grew closer to some, I knew that I was at the peak of our relationship. I�d never spend another moment with them that would be new or unique. Yukari would love me no matter what, and Mamoru disappeared with his family, looking for a way to support them.
When the final call came, I reflected on the people I would likely never spend any more time with. Fuuka and I came so close to becoming more than simple friends, and I�d never know how the business with Bunkichi and Mitsuko worked out.
I regretted it more than the time I didn�t spend training, all of Elizabeth and Margaret�s endless side tasks I left incomplete. I actually felt that I spent too much time doing them. I felt like the father who is consumed by work, isolated from his family.
This is what Tartarus was to me. Work.
By the final days, I dreaded every encounter in Tartarus, every floor I had yet to climb. I half-heartedly tackled Margaret�s challenges and looked only for the fastest way to ascend each tower, ignoring the piles of treasure to be found.
In my mind, Persona 3 would almost have been a better game without combat. While the Social Link system provides motivation to interact with others, and gives a tangible measurement of the strength and growth you achieve with the help of others, it oftentimes is drags on too long. Aside from the thematic considerations of the removal of combat, I found that mechanically it was simply an accessory to the experience.
P3 is a different beast than its predecessors. Its a character driven story shackled by the dungeon crawling origins of the Shin Megami Tensei series. Arguably, the Persona series could do well to minimize, or even eliminate it�s combat system and still carry it�s core engagement. The JRPG genre is generally could use a reexamining of the role of its combat systems (an argument covered in more detail by Extra Credits� Western vs. Japanese RPG series ).
I fought to end Tartarus. Not because it took a thrill from doing so, but because it was dividing me from the time I wanted to spend with my friends. Catching only a glimpse of what a world without Tartarus would look like, I can only dream of the times I could have had with the others.

This Time It's Persona
Persona 3 is complete.
Just this month I wrapped up the final chapter of Persona 3 Portable. In the time I�ve been playing it I�ve gone through at least three different PSP units (including one PSV) and multiple copies, both UMD and digital. It�s taken over 54 hours.
It doesn�t feel like an accomplishment. Towards the end it became a slog through endless battles and tired trials. I wanted it to be over 10 hours ago.
Yet, its a somber occasion. It feels like a goodbye. I�ve finally put it behind me, yet I want to go back, learn what happened with the social links I left incomplete. There are relationships that are in limbo. People I will never know.
It�s too familiar.
My tension is not with how the game is crafted, but with the circumstances in which I finally completed it. An ending that I couldn�t have experienced at any other point in my life.
The final stretch took place during a sleepless night. The hours burned away into morning and by the time I finally set the game down, I was as tired as the protagonist at the end of the game. I closed my eyes.
No dreams would come for me.

Grand Buffet
Last Thursday was Grand Buffet here at the CIA. Grand Buffet comes around every three weeks on the day before graduation, and it is an enormous buffet created by many different classes showing off some of their fanciest dishes. My class, Pastry Techniques, is largely responsible for setting up and serving at the baking and pastry end of the buffet. There is a breads table at the center, and on either side of that are long tables devoted to tarts, pastries, ice creams, sorbets, chocolates, cakes, anything sugary you could ever want. As you might imagine, it is the most popular part of Grand Buffet, the ice cream and sorbet section in particular. And my class was solely responsible for the ice creams and sorbets!
As far as the things that I personally had a hand in making, they included classic chocolate ice cream, guava sorbet, dark chocolate ice cream with salted caramel swirl, and saffron ice cream (these last two were courtesy of my partner's creativity–my flavor idea was lavender ice cream with white chocolate chips, and it didn't win enough votes from the class to make it to the Grand Buffet table, alas). Beyond the frozen goodies, my partner and I made a double batch of pate a choux and piped it into mini eclairs and mini Swedish cream puffs, both of which we filled with pastry cream and glazed with fondant. Around the bakeshop, other teams were making fruit tarts, chocolate cups for ice cream, granitas, mini creme brulees, and assorted other goodies. Then other classes started to bring their masterpieces over to our bakeshop, which served as a kind of "staging area" for everything. Soon there was not a square inch of space left that didn't have a platter of something or other on it, and the entire effect was reminiscent of Santa's workshop, if Santa loved sugar more than toys.
Downstairs in the dining hall, we set up our tables and arranged an assortment of platters and ice cream containers just in time for people to start streaming in for dinner. I had always known the dessert tables were popular at Grand Buffet–every three weeks since I arrived here, I have made sure to try a couple of specialty ice creams and other treats, and I think most of the students here do the same. But I had no idea how fast it would all disappear! I watched an entire carrot cake vanish in about three minutes flat. The other students in my class could not bring full platters down fast enough to replace the ones that emptied. Still, as stressful as it was to see the food disappearing so quickly, it was flattering beyond words. I hadn't made anything but some ice cream, eclairs, and cream puffs, but all the same I was proud to be part of it, especially when the compliments were flying as fast as the food was.
In culinary school, sometimes it is easy to get bogged down in grades and what the chefs think. But at Grand Buffet, I got to do what we are all trying to do ultimately–make the "customers" happy. Seeing the reactions on people's faces as they tried to decide which pastry they wanted to try out of the 50 or so in front of them…it really reminded me why I'm here and what all of this means to me.

Advanced Trade Management - ATM Technology
NinjaTrader provides the option to trade with or without an Advanced Trade Management (ATM) Strategy, shown in Figure 17. ATM Strategies are designed to provide discretionary traders access to semi-automated features to manage positions. Note: NinjaScript Strategies are required for fully automated trading systems.
Figure 17: The ATM Strategy window where traders can specify quantity, stop loss, profit target and stop strategies for each trade

· Reduced emotions
Advanced Charting with Multi-Series Charting
NinjaTrader offers the ability to view multiple charting intervals and multiple instruments within a single charting window, as shown in Figure 18. To add more than one charting interval or instrument to one chart, click "File" > "New" > "Chart" and add the desired symbols to the lower left data series window. Highlight any instrument to adjust variables, including Period (chart interval). Click "OK" and all of the symbols will appear on one chart. Different trading indicators can be applies to each symbol. (For more, see Using Trading Indicators Effectively.)
Figure 18: Multiple Series Charting allows traders to combine symbols, chart intervals and indicators on one price chart
Automated Trading Using NinjaScript
NinjaScript is NinjaTrader's proprietary, C#-based programming language. While outside the scope of this introductory tutorial, users can create custom indicators and strategies using NinjaScript. These indicators and strategies can then be applied to charts, backtested, traded, and used in strategy automation. NinjaTrader offers frequent, free webinars to assist traders in learning the different features of NinjaTrader, including how to use NinjaTrader's Strategy Development tools. Traders also have the option of working with a qualified NinjaScript programmer to develop custom trading ideas. A list of NinjaScript Consultants can be found on the NinjaTrader web site.
Third-Party Developers and Add-ons
Traders can purchase commercial indicators and strategies from a growing body of third party developers. These products have been developed specifically for the NinjaTrader platform, and are available for outright purchase or lease. To protect their proprietary software, most developers will require the trader's NinjaTrader Machine ID number to activate a license specific to that trader's computer. The Machine ID can be found in the Control Center under Help > About. A list of third-party developers can be found on the NinjaTrader web site. Beginner's Guide To NinjaTrader: Conclusion

YORK Wayne Richard Douce, 85, died November 2, 2013, in York. A loving husband, father, and friend, Wayne was respected and loved for his kindness and quick wit. He was a great listener who chose his words carefully, often to share a joke. Born on April 16, 1928, Wayne was raised on a farm in Washington County, KS. In 1949 he married Waneta Rose Biery, of Rooks County, KS. Wayne completed his bachelor's degree at Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS, and received his law degree from the University of Nebraska College of Law in Lincoln, NE. After law school Wayne achieved the rank of first lieutenant in the Air Force working as an Assistant Staff Judge Advocate at Perrin Air Force Base in Denison, TX. After Wayne completed his military service, he returned to Lincoln. There he joined the City Attorney's Office and subsequently became Deputy City Attorney. In 1956 Wayne was hired as Department Attorney for the Nebraska Department of Insurance. Wayne left Lincoln in 1961 to serve as General Counsel for Guarantee Mutual Life Insurance Company in Omaha, NE, a position he held for 29 years until he retired as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary in 1990. During his retirement, Wayne continued to make significant contributions to the insurance industry by consulting with state insurance commissions across the country. As an active member of
Rotary International
for 36 years, Wayne served as president and secretary for the Rotary Club of Omaha-Suburban and later joined the Rotary Club of York-North when he moved with Waneta to York in 2005 to be closer to their children. Wayne became a Paul Harris Fellow in 1993. He was an active member of Mount Zion United Church of Christ and past president of Ridgerunners. In between volunteer activities with Rotary and church, Wayne liked to putter in his woodworking shop and attend meetings of the York Woodworking Club. He also enjoyed golf, gardening, model trains, and card games. Wayne and his wife Waneta took many journeys together throughout the United States and abroad. But their most cherished memories were of car trips with the entire familythe Grand Tetons in Wyoming being a favorite destination. Wayne also loved animals, books, and music, especially when he had the opportunity to share those passions with others. Wayne is survived by his wife of 64 years, Waneta Rose (Biery) Douce; his children, Donald Douce, of Manhattan, NY, Dwight Douce and his wife Jennifer Owens, of East Falmouth, MA, and Denise Douce and her husband Drew Rock of Baltimore, MD; five nieces and two nephews; and dear friends from everywhere they lived and traveled.

By Sam Baker - 05/14/12 04:57 PM EDT
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) is asking Florida TV stations to pull an ad that attacks him for supporting President Obama's healthcare overhaul.
Nelson is facing a tough reelection fight this fall — he's one of three potentially vulnerable Senate Democrats targeted in the latest round of ads from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The ads sharply criticize Obama's healthcare law — and the Senate Democrats who voted for it.
Attorneys representing Nelson said TV stations should not run the Chamber's ad, citing an analysis in which the website FactCheck.org called the Chamber's claims misleading.
"As a media outlet, this station has a duty to protect the public from the spread of false information and deliberate deception," Nelson's lawyers wrote.
They specifically took issue with the ad's claim that "seniors will see $500 billion in Medicare cuts to fund ObamaCare." The website PolitiFact.org has called that claim "false," saying the healthcare law only slows the rate of Medicare's growth, rather than actually reducing spending below its current levels.
The Medicare savings in the healthcare law come from reduced payments to insurance companies and healthcare providers, such as doctors and hospitals. The law does not directly cut seniors' benefits.
The Chamber's latest ad campaign also targets Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) and Sherrod Brown (Ohio).

Fallen StarsCan you really ever say goodbye,
to something fallen from the sky?
I count the stars that form the night,
with little to say;
my clouded sight.
Lightning LoveThe sky moves,
with lightning wrapped,
around it.
Lightning being the cloud's mother,
they try to support one another.
Duality dapper,
more beautiful than ever.
Love StainsLove leaves a stain;
A dim shade of violet.
It drips from the lips,
forming a thick shield of silence.
Where there's willTime takes its toll,
on those who feel alone.
But like they always say,
where there's will,
there's always a way.

Life is great.
There are moments when we should appreciate,
the heavens that guide us.
Dear DepressionDear Depression,
I remember so perfectly
The moment I met you.
I was nine years of age,
So little,
Wearing a pale pink dress,
My hair curled elegantly,
Falling gently around my shoulders.
So confident.
So innocent.
So young.
And, ha! I thought it would last,
But was I wrong, oh, was I wrong.
I remember the moment someone
Impaled my mind with their opinions
Of who I was as
An innocent
Little girl.
That, dearest Depression, is the moment
I understood what it meant
To feel
And, although it was you,
Dear Depression,
Who made it hurt,
Who made it throb
And made my thoughts thrash within my
You were my friend.
I turned to you,
my 36-day-long sadness.
I loved you.
But it killed me.
Loving you made me aware
Of what "suicide" was,
And more importantly,
Why is existed.
Loving you brought me happy little moments
Defined by
Cuts on my thighs.
I listened to you, oh, Depression...
I listened!
"Find the nearest scarf, rope, thick string"
You'd say these things
Echoing in my bedroom
Thoughts on Growing UpThoughts on Growing Up
I exist more inside of my mind
Than in reality.
I am not sure what I am trying to find.
I think I am trying to lose
I liked the sing song of nursery rhymes
Before I knew the story behind them.
I liked the way the world looked
Before I could read between its lines.
They sound nothing like my little kid lullabies.
Everything seems to remind me
Of how it will never be
What I wished it was.
I thought growing up was supposed to make me stand tall.
My veins are roots
Digging themselves into the ground.
But nobody ever warned me
Of the tree snapping
And I feel like a little kid,
I've got bright eyes and scraped up knees.
The scratches so alive and raw.
You use grown up band aids
To cover up your wide eyed dreams.
But I was never one for reality.
Keep your band aids.
I'll make my own way to the Neverland
That I dreamed of.
I'll make my own lullaby.

to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub:
in the magazine I own that published your story,
they blurred out the crime scene photographs,
erasing your face and
the full curves of your breasts.
some part of me wonders
if you would have wanted this,
or if you would have liked for
the public to see you in your final moments,
half-soaked in grey-looking water,
your hair in strings, glued to the porcelain,
eyes closed and mouth gaping,
no breath stirring, no bubbles rising.
sometimes when I look
into the depths of my bathroom sink,
I hear your voice
(or what I imagine it to be--
after all, we never met).
you sit on the edge of the toilet seat,
and chat to me about the weather.
I would give anything to hear your real, living voice,
to ask you what you were thinking
as you lowered yourself
into the tub, queen of the tendrils of steam,
and let your lungs deflate like old birthday balloons.

Tying myself down to a piece of paper.
In books my heroes used swords,
I use a pen.
I got a mind as violent as a hurricane.
I could use these words to build me a raft.
Because it's the only weapon I have.
And this pen isn't what it looks like.
I finally found some sort of voice.
I can use it. These thoughts inside our heads are like bombs, so let's defuse it.
It's my torch.
I could burn the shadows, set fire to these fears.
I could use ink instead of tears.
I could use books and poetry like a night light
Because I never liked the dark anyways.
I could use it like a head stone…
Writing about all of my friends who couldn't find a flash light
In time.
I could write and write
Until my skin was stained with lilies made of ink.
I write because I think
And when you think too much there is no escape.
So I say, when everything is too much
Just create.
Little dream weaver, you have all the pieces.

Depression is an OptionDepression is a choice, my dear,
And happiness the same
You choose this illness, don't you?
What a tragic little game.
Depression is an option, love
Just get up out of bed
Take your tears and worries
And just smile now instead.
Depression is a choice, you see,
And so is suicide.
Just sit back, kick your feet up, dear
Enjoy this perfect ride.
Get over your own standards
Of what everyone should be.
Just smile for once, and maybe
You'll be living perfectly.
Depression is an illness
That we feel so deep within.
Why would anybody choose
To write poetry on their skin?
Unless there lies a reason, dear,
I would not choose to die.
If depression was an option...
I'd choose to say goodbye.

I want to be a person just like you, don't you see?
I want to be a person who is still being "me"
A tired sigh escaped your lips. You were just so damn tired. The other countries said that you, (f/n) or (c/n), was scarier than Russia himself. But of course, you have lived 2500 years with wars and bloodshed always trailing after you. You just really want to be happy. But all those wars and blood imprinted on your mind, you really just released off a dark (a/c) aura and a stoic atmosphere.
It really would be nice but I'm paying a price
'Cause I'd really, not be me and that would not suffice
You asked yourself, "I know my face doesn't show my pain. But isn't it obvious in my eyes? I'm lonely and hurt" You rubbed your numb (s/c) wrist, yesterday's cuts still had a colorless ache to it. You picked your silver knife, twirling it around watching the others argue. The said knife is the one you also use to cut yourself.

Trapped WithinShut up!
I don't want to listen anymore.
Get out of my head!
I can't depend on anyone.
There is no way to save me.
If it's up to me to make the voices leave,
I am powerless.
All I can do is try and drown them out with music.
I find myself closing up.
No need to worry anyone.
sometimes pain is the only way to tone things down.
I really hope things change.
Whispers of the sweet release offered by a blade seduce.
I can't though.
I have reasons not to.
I want to be free,
but I can't escape myself.
People are busy.
People are stressed.
People are sick.
Who am I supposed to talk to?
Who could I trust?
I can only cry and crank the volume of my music.
Sleep would be best,
but I can only sleep so much.
Go away go away GO AWAY!!!
and take my pain with you!
I am such an idiot.
An Angel's Promise'Thou art mine,
And so thou shall remain.'
I will not let you have any other before me,
Nor can there be any after.
For it is your soul that I have shared
And it is your soul that I do take.
Your worship is the blood that flows through me.
Your praise is the heart that pumps life into my veins.
I have accepted that which is torn;
And if you are not whole before me,
Then by my will and word,
You shall be made whole.
So fear not this frigid world,
Though its cold bites deeply into your flesh.
I shall take that which has been torn from you
And weep life into it,
Until only warmth remains.
For thou art already mine,
And so thou shall remain.
For My PeopleAs far as I can recall:
I did not ask to be birthed
Into a cycle of stagnation.
I did not ask to be told,
That my dreams are achievable;
Only to see them limited by the scope of reality.
I did not ask for a failing system,
Passed unto me by half-dead corpses wearing suits.
Nodding eagerly at one another,
As they wait for an inevitable death.
This I did not ask for,
And I am certain that most of you did not either.
But it is for that reason,
And for that reason alone, I say:
That it is up to us,
We siblings bound by the chains of our forefathers,
To create a system that is better,
Than the bitter shackles of the past.
Justice is what I long for.
Justice for MY people.

1321 Tasting Notes
I opened samples of two different Tealux Assams last night to compare, and was immediately reminded all over again why I love Assam so much. There's so much variation between different varieties that it would be almost impossible to get bored of it, and the flavour is always so, so good.
This one reminded me strongly of Butiki's Premium Taiwanese Assam, both in appearance and scent. That would make sense, I suppose, as they're both Taiwanese in origin. This one has the same long, thick, twisty black leaves, and it's insanely fruity to smell.
I gave this about 4 minutes in boiling water, and the resulting liquor was a golden brown with hints of almost ruby. It smells sweet and malty, and these notes carry through into the flavour. To taste, there's a strong element of dried fruit — raisin particularly. There's also hints of sweet potato, and the tiniest smidge of grain.
I'd have to compare this side by side with PTA to be more certain of their similarities, and to know which, if any, I prefer overall. This was a delcious cup, though. Black beauty indeed!
Back to my selection of SBTs for today's cold brew! This is another I first tried last year, and as far as I can recall I really liked it. I'm pleased to report that I like it just as much the second time around. The pink lemonade flavouring is easily detectable — it's a sort of generically sweet, slightly fizzy tasting, maybe very slightly strawberry/lemon tinged flavour. It's just like actual pink lemonade! The base is smooth and unobtrusive — it's the characteristic 52 Teas SBT base, so if you've ever tried one before you know exactly what to expect. Brewed at the recommended parameters — 3 minutes in boiling water, topped up with cold to 2 litres and into the fridge overnight — it's a delicious treat on a warm day. These teas do make work far more bearable!
First tea of the morning! The scent of the dry leaf made me really want to like this one. It smells so much like an orange creamsicle! I was a little concerned by the amount of floral-ish ingredients, but I thought on balance it would probably be okay.
And it is okay, but I can't say I really like it. The orange disappears almost completely, and the main flavours are actually chamomile and jasmine. It's like this one got stuck between being an orange black and a floral herbal, and the taste is just a little bit weird. The initial sip would almost be enough to convince me that it WAS a herbal, if I didn't know better, but then the black tea and a teeny-tiny hint of orange develop. It's not an entirely successful contrast.
I have a small tin of this, so I'll definitely be giving it another go, adjusting steeping parameters, etc. I like orange teas, so I had high hopes for this one. Maybe I can pull it back a bit with some sympathetic brewing?
Sipdown! This is the first green tea I have ever cold brewed, and I'm pleased with the result. I figured this one would be a good choice to start with, as it has more lemongrass than green tea. I was worried about the green tea becoming bitter after 10-12 hours in the fridge, but it hasn't at all. I guess that's something to do with the cold water?
The flavour of this one is pretty different when cold brewed. I can taste the lime far, far more. It actually overtakes the lemongrass as the primary flavour. Then comes the chilli, which adds a really nice kick of heat and spice. It's such a summery tea, and so different from the usual run of the mill tropical tea. It definitely shines more when it's cold brewed, and I'm glad I decided to give it a go. It makes me wish I'd given MojiTEA a try cold brewed — I think I'll have to buy some more now!
I have monday off next week, so I'm gathering together some one cup remainders and I'm going to try and get my count back under 300 over the three day weekend. A couple of cold-brew sipdowns in the meantime will help, too!
Most bitterness from green tea comes from the temperature of the water, cold steeping gets rid of that but some blends do start turning bitter if left for too long. Cold steeping is the way to go :)
I normally leave greens for only 6hrs max because of the bitterness, they definitely can still get bitter. Probably this blend didn't because there wasn't much green comparatively?
I've definitely had more cups of this than I've logged, but I guess that's because it's not one I have a lot more to say about. It's an interesting green — I have been following the instructions to steep it in boiling water, and after I got over the initial shock I was pleasantly surprised with how this one worked out. There's not a hint of bitterness, and it's so light, delicate and fresh tasting it's almost unreal. In many ways, it reminds me of a white tea. It's not floral or sweet in the same way, though — there's a subtle taste of fresh pea, and it's actually quite savoury in the way of spring vegetables. My favourite thing about this one is the dry leaf, though. It's furry and stripy! Butiki do unusual teas like no-one else :)
I've neglected this one for a while, so I pulled it out to revisit last night. It's such a consistent cup — always syrupy strawberry amazingness every time I have it. I've never experienced any bitterness from this one, either — of the MF teas I've tried so far, it's probably the one I've got along with most easily. This one might well be a restock when I finish the tin, although I'm not really at that stage yet.
I can't believe this is only my second cup of this one, but there you go. For some reason, I tend to drink far less green teas at home, and I'm not really sure why. I brought this one to work with me, knowing I'd be more likely to drink it, and I guess it's worked anyway!
It's a hot day today, and this is one of those perfect summer teas. It's quite a light flavour — primarily lemongrass, with a hint of lime and a chili kick at the end of the sip. It tastes vaguely tropical, somehow…perhaps the citrussy elements combined with the grassy green base? Either way, it's very palatable on a day like today. I don't often drink green teas cold brewed, but I can see this being a good candidate. I might take the rest of the sample home and give that a try tomorrow!
I drank two cups of this yesterday as a weekend treat. I took a little break from it for a couple of weeks, after I tried nibbling a piece of bunny graham and made myself feel so sick I couldn't actually face drinking it for a while. I don't think I was expecting the flavour of the tea to have pervaded the crackers so much, but there you go. A case of curiosity almost killing the cat! I feel like I'm back on track with this one now, though, and it's certainly taught me to be more cautious when nibbling on tea additions! Or just to actually stop, more to the point.
Now I've forgotten how awful I felt, I can happily drink this one again. It's pretty much the perfect pie tea as far as I'm concerned — slightly tart strawberry rhubarb flavour, with a hint of buttery, almost biscuitty, crust. Gorgeous! I'm pretty sure this will be a restock once I run out — I've not tasted anything than can match it, that's for sure :)
Last cup of the evening yesterday. I enjoy this one quite a lot — it's just so chocolatey (unsurprising, given how many chocolate chips are actually in the dry mix!), and beautifully minty. I chose it partly because yesterday was such a humid evening, and although I wanted a hot drink pre-bedtime, the cooling effect of the mint in this one was also very refreshing. I'm in two minds about the marshmallow leaf — it adds a background note that I'm not hugely keen on, although it's such a minor thing that I'm not really going to call it a problem. I can drink this one happily, and that's what matters! Saying that, I'm pretty sure my favourite chocolate mint tea is always going to be a black. This is a wonderful caffiene free option, though, and another fabulous Butiki! Yum, basically.

Being a scholar born, Alan found himself thoroughly in his element when he went up to King's as a mathematical scholar in October 1931. The balance of freedom and discipline just suited him. He at once took up rowing, being in the College trial eights in 1931, 1933 and 1934. For one so shy it was a curious thing that he very much enjoyed reading the lessons in King's College Chapel, which as a scholar he was occasionally called upon to do. He was too reticent about his religious beliefs to reveal just where he stood. He often accompanied me to church at festivals, as well as attending chapel at King's – things he was too honest to do had he not been, at least, in limited agreement with Christianity, though he was certainly not orthodox. "Within the framework of his science he believed in the great order of things," according to a very intimate friend. In his last year or so, happening to glance through the Church of England Catechism, by then forgotten by him, he expressed great admiration for the sound exposition of the "Duty to one's Neighbour." Whenever he referred to Jesus Christ he always did so with reverence using the term "Our Lord," which speaks for itself. While still at school his opinion of daily school chapel was that the practice was a good one, even if one were apt to be in a state of semi-coma. This may sound paradoxical, but what he commended was evidently the corporate recognition of religious obligation.

The Washington Redskins seem to break new ground nearly every season in NFL dysfunction. They play their final game of the season Sunday against the New York Giants at Met Life Stadium, but the must-watch moments will come when the game is over.
Will head coach – and executive vice president of football operations – Mike Shanahan be fired after the game? Will owner Daniel Snyder give Shanahan and his coaching staff their very expensive walking papers – estimated to be as high as $13-14 million owed for the rest of Shanahan's and his staff on their contracts?
Or will Snyder wait Shanahan out and see if the coach will tire of twisting in the wind and quit – walking away from the money?
Maybe it will turn into a Seinfield episode, with Shanahan playing the role of George Constanza, in a high-stakes game of trying to get fired. Maybe Shanahan will lock himself in Snyder's wash room.
The aura of self-destruction that defines this franchise had a banner year. It has taken a two-time Super Bowl winning coach and turned him into, as Jim Zorn might have said after a season like this – if he had one this bad during his two years in Washington – "the worst coach in the world."
It has taken a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback and NFL Rookie of the Year – Robert "SuperBob" Griffin III – and turned him into a damaged, coach-killing quarterback diva who half the fan base would trade tomorrow in place of Kirk Cousins.
This aura of self destruction is a powerful force. It swallows up and spits out everyone who comes within its grasp. When Shanahan came to Washington, he was heralded by fans as the man who would change the direction of the franchise. He was everything former executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato wasn't – in other words, smart and successful.
Now fans can't stand the sight of him. Even if, as retiring Redskins linebacker London Fletcher said this week, Shanahan should come back – "I think Coach Shanahan is definitely the right guy" – you couldn't sell that to this damaged fan base. They deserve better.
Richmond would be a ghost town next August if Shanahan returns, as would Fed Ex Field. And while the idea of football decisions as marketing tools symbolizes much of what has been wrong with the Redskins, this time it seems legit. Plus it would be too much of an insult to a fan base that has suffered decades of insults.
No, the Redskins aura of self destruction is so strong that even if the right thing would be to bring Shanahan back for the final year of his contract – with no salary cap penalty, no handicaps going into the season, and a healthy SuperBob – Shanahan can't come back. No one can stomach him anymore.
So the new coaching search will likely begin – another victim to be sucked up by the aura of self destruction. Unless, perhaps finally, instead of fighting the aura, this franchise finally embraces its identity, and instead of hiring a coach to change it, picks a coach that is the perfect fit for the dysfunctional Washington Redskins.
Lane Kiffin, come on down.
If there was ever a coach who was a perfect fit for this organization, it is Kiffin, the Hollywood coach who leaves a trail of destruction in his wake wherever he goes – yet keeps getting hired.
He was the youngest head coach in NFL history when he was hired by Oakland Raiders in 2007, and then became the youngest head coach of a BCS Conference team when he was hired at Tennessee in 2009. He left Tennessee to take the head coaching job at USC in 2010, where he lasted three seasons before being fired in September.

Going to buy 5 million shares @ 0.0011.
Nothing wrong with trying a stock at the bottom, that can't go any lower. The profit potential on the upside is massive. This could help RECOVER all my losses for the YEAR.
This is what trader dream off, to buy a stock at the lowest price point and rake in the profits on the way up.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Sentiment: Strong Buy

ATTD is going to give birth to many new MILLIONAIRES, Just like MONSTER BEVERAGE in it's early days. ATTD has huge potential, see ATTD press release for more information.
I believe ATTD will soon be in WALMART as well.
This stock is bound for a huge pop any day now.
Fast entry point ranges 0.0005 to 0.0019.
Enjoy the profits on the ride to the top.

Great shop for bonsai plants, mini succulent gardens and terrarium fixings. They sell individual air plants, polished stones and gravel, moss, etc.
